AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents THE PRESIDENTS: eleven 20th century biographies that offer an intimate and compelling look at the men who have defined and re-defined the modern presidency, and who led the country through some of the most turbulent and consequential moments in our history.

I thoroughly enjoyed these DVDs! The hours just flew by. I thought I knew a lot about the presidents but so many interesting details were presented highlighting their personal lives and struggles which impacted on major events in our nation's history. They may have lived many years ago but so many of the pressing issues these presidents faced are still quite pertinent today. Lots of drama here, who needs reality TV!

It's a great Presidential collection for those presidential history buffs like me, even though I know it's available online, I still bought it for my collection. It's a bummer that the Eisenhower DVD isn't included, it would've been great if it's in there. I look forward to the GWBush documentary soon.

This series has something for everyone of all ages. The history that surrounds the Presidents and its affect on the lives of our people give profound insight into both, our history and our leaders. The presentation and delivery is well done, and leaves one with a feeling of knowing each President and our country a little better than before.

These American Experience's on the Presidents are second to none. They are all wonderfully written/produced/shot programs. Even the music is fantastic (I think of FDR in particular).

HOWEVER, why is "IKE" once again absent from the collection (as it was from the last one)?

I collected all of these the hard way (one at a time) so IKE is sitting on MY media shelf in his chronological slot. But why continue to rob the public of Eisenhower? Was there a controversy in that doc that won't let PBS air it again?
